Anzac Day competition at Jamberoo

With the approach of Anzac Day we take time to contemplate the significance of the day and its continued relevance to contemporary Australian life. It is the day on which we remember all Australians who served and died in war and on operational service. The spirit of Anzac, with its qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity. Lest We Forget.

After the dawn service Jamberoo Golf Club will be running a stableford competition. It is a walk-up-start so come along and get involved.

The bridge is in place and the final stages of its redevelopment nears. This involves the creation of ramps and rails and decking. All credit goes to Paul Rodgers and his team of volunteers for the great job.

Jim Butt’s shed has also had a facelift with a new paint job thanks to the efforts of Arthur Bosanquet and Carl Edlinger.
